The James Harden era has arrived in Philadelphia.
Technically, it arrived in Minnesota first, where Harden made his 76er debut as a starter against the Timberwolves. His first bucket came a little over three minutes into the game when Harden got the ball on the wing, sized up Anthony Edwards, drove past him to the rim and got the and-1.

That bucket was part of a 15-0 76ers run that had them up comfortably in the first quarter.
